(Reuters) - Wasps' England flanker Jack Willis will consult a specialist to determine the full extent of a knee injury that could end his season, the Premiership club's coach Lee Blackett said on Tuesday.

Willis injured his knee after he was twisted out of a ruck by Italy's Sebastian Negri during England's 41-18 Six Nations win on Saturday, with the 24-year-old needing almost 10 minutes of medical attention before being carried off on a stretcher.
